DJI software update brings new tricks to its drones
03.09.2015
Drone maker DJI is adding new features to some of its drones through a software update that should make them easier to fly.
The update, which will be available on Sept. 7, comes as the drone industry is looking to make the craft easier and safer to fly to attract more novice users.
The new flight modes take some of the complexity out of flying and will be available for the Phantom 3 and Inspire 1.
They include:
In addition to the new flight modes, the update will also upgrade the resolution of video being captured by the built-in camera on the Phantom 3. It currently shoots at 1080p high-definition, but the upgrade will bring 2,704 pixels by 1,520 pixels.
